Partnership between Novem and GPAINNOVA for the implementation of DLyte® technology

• Extension of technological expertise for metal surface finishing
• Premium surface quality for components with complex geometries

Luxembourg, 12 August 2026 – Novem Group S.A. has entered into a partnership with GPAINNOVA to introduce the innovative DLyte® technology for metal surface finishing as a service to the European and North American markets. This collaboration and the investment in DLyte® technology mark a further step in expanding Novem’s processing portfolio of premium surface finishing for sectors such as mobility, aerospace, medical technology and the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Redefining metal surface finishing through precision, automation and sustainability

Metallic components play an important role across numerous industries, where surface quality, functional performance and process reliability are essential, particularly for components with complex geometries. The DLyte® technology provides an innovative alternative to conventional mechanical and chemical processing methods for materials including aluminium, stainless steel, brass and titanium. Its fully automated and reproducible production process supports efficient industrial-scale production, reduces process variability and contributes to consistently high quality standards across the entire manufacturing process. In addition to its technological benefits, DLyte® technology, as a sustainable alternative to conventional finishing processes, supports a more environmentally responsible production process through the reduced use of hazardous substances and resources.

Dr. Andreas Karl, Head of Project DLyte: “The introduction of the DLyte® technology marks a major innovation milestone for Novem. It not only elevates the quality and consistency of our 3D surface finishing but also transforms manufacturing processes towards greater automation and sustainability. This partnership strengthens our position as a technology leader and enables us to deliver next-generation solutions to our customers worldwide.“
